After an EP to whet our appetites, punk veterans the Poster Children return with a full-length album, <I>Junior Citizen</I>. Vocals have always been the group's weak point, and that doesn't change here. The band compensates with driving rhythms and killer riffs, as on the title track, "Revolution Year Zero," and "Mustaine," a metallic tune with guitars that pay homage to the leader of Megadeth. --Jim DeRogatis

Album Description

Poster Children's best record and easily 1995's most underrated rock release from the States. Sire.

Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Great band, tedious album.......2006-06-26

It seems like a lot of people consider "Junior Citizen" a career highlight for Poster Children. I tend to think of it as their dullest and least distinguished record. Containing very little of the postpunk angularity of earlier and later albums like "Tool of the Man" and "DDD," it's essentially a straight grunge/hard rock album-- not really the P-Kids' strong suit. Heavy opener "Get a Life" starts out strongly, but as it fades into the title track's chintzy drum machine beat, the momentum evaporates. From there, the songs steadily grow more generic and less memorable, with the exception of solid closer "One of Us."

In a decade-spanning body of work brimming with energy and personality, "Junior Citizen" is an uncharacteristically dreary effort from the Poster Children.

5 out of 5 stars Happy to find this album!.......2005-03-26

I bought this album when it came out in 1994, but lost it about 4 years ago. I'm happy I found it here. The music is awesome!
